Description

Streaming tests are not strict enough, and do not properly determine if the streaming function is working. Tests must be reviewed and possibly revised to determine if the functionality is still present. We will try a three pronged approach in which we:

  1. are alerted quickly to api logs and issues (already completed).
  2. examine existing tests and determine where they have failed previously and to what degree they can be improved
  3. For anticipated failure points for automated tests, determine a standard operating procedure for relevant PR's that potentially includes manual tests to ensure core functionality of the websites does not break

??have broad coverage of specific features (this issue covers streaming) ??
